It’s like Christmas in March, what with all the great
games we’ve got our hands on this month, and
we’ve got an absolutely packed reviews section for
you this month! First up, we’ve waited ages for
Crackdown 3 to land exclusively on our consoles.
Was it worth the wait? Find out on page 64!
Dead Or Alive 6 also lands this month, and we
check out everything that’s new in Team Ninja’s
classic fighting series on page 68. Next up is
Far Cry New Dawn and we reveal whether the post-
apocalyptic follow-up to Far Cry 5 is an atomic blast
on page 74. The Disney-themed JRPG Kingdom
Hearts III is reviewed on page 72, and we get to grips
with intriguing indie titles Absolver (p84), Smoke &
Sacrifice (p87) and Wargroove (p90) too. We were
excited to jump back into post-nuclear Russia with
Metro Exodus this month. Find out what we make
of that on page 78. Apex Legends is a free-to-play
battle royale FPS that’s already massively popular,
and we give the verdict on whether that’s worth your
time on page 82! Then we felt the need for speed
- and we barrel roll our way onto page 76 with our
review of Ace Combat 7! We also bring you reviews
of inventive fighting sequel Guacamelee! 2 (p88) and
space-based strategy game Stellaris (p80). Phew!
After all that, we need a lie down.
